The Army equipment was outside of Ft Meade, but probably came from there back in the day. Ft Meade was the main VA I fell under when I was out there, funny thing I applied for a operator job there and was in the running for it. The Case place was before a pretty good dog leg in the road, after...

Both were on 34, the Case place was East of Sturgis but a little West of the Belle Fourche, I think it was a little east of Bear Butte?. The old Army equipment was before the Buffalo Chip, going West into Sturgis.

That is one thing I do miss about S.D. Doug, all the old interesting equipment out there. I remember the few trips I made out to Sturgis, I would pass by a place that had quite a collection of old Case farm equipment. Another area had a couple of old Army wheeled dozer/scraper combos.

Those plows are pretty setup where you drop the bottoms front to back as you start, then lift what ever one hits a obstruction. The tractor is probably so slow that one man on the plow platform could keep up.

Looks like a Big Four or Minneapolis to me.

I don't think it is a actual Deere sprayer, they mainly had the model 5, 5A and 5B. Two had round tanks and the last was a plastic tank. Also, the wheels are larger on the JD sprayers. I'll double check at work, but I think it's homemade with a Deere sticker slapped on.

Little known fact, in some of the early 112's Deere used a limited slip version of the 2300 transmission, the 2308 or 2380, not exactly sure which at the moment

Classic green was supposedly last used on the Two Cylinder Era tractors and equipment, it might have carried over into 3010, 4010, 3020, and 4020's, but after that it should be the New Ag Green.

Deere used 2300's in the square fender 110, 112, and all the 200's, the 208 was a economy version of the 200, it doesn't have a variator. My 110 had a 8hp till it started smoking, I replaced it with a 10hp.

Loved seeing Spearfish when I was out there, just love being in the mountains seeing the landscape and wildlife.

Location?

Straight pipes are ok, till you get one on a Detroit

If I have something that I'm putting in long term storage I usually run it dry, I usually use the choke when it starts to sputter, it pulls more fuel out of the bowl.

Looks like it might only be a 8 or 10hp model.

Happy Belated Birthday Doug!
